Why a Bohemian Jacket should be a staple in your wardrobe

Visit the Store for more Bohemian Jackets

By now everyone and their dog knows I have a weakness for Jackets and that explains why there are so many in my shop. I can't help it - they are such a versatile piece that can be thrown over anything, taking a simple Tee and cutoffs to another height altogether.

Just adding a couple more Jackets to the shop - Check my Jacket Collection HERE.

How To Find Your Style On Pinterest

The Style and Fashion that I like is very specific - its edgy, bit Rock n Roll and lots of black. For that reason I cannot stay on Pinterest for long as the fashion there is too 'Prom-my' as I refer to it - you know - all pretty dresses and bright colors and things I would never buy for myself.

I follow only certain Pinterest boards created by other similar style minded souls. I have bookmarked them in my folders and find myself going to them pretty often for inspiration and ideas. So here are the ones that are my Go-to boards - tell me if you like them.

Edgy Bohemian - Lots of Black, Leather, Fur

Hippie Lace is a lovely blogger in Canada..........my country ! and I just love collaborating with fellow country hippies! She has amazing style and is fearless with her choices. What impressed me the most is that she stuck to her Boho looks even when pregnant - that is something I struggled it when I was pregnant. I got so big that nothing would fit me except a tent.

Anyhoo hop over to her blog to see her many Bohemian outfits and styling ideas. You are going to love her for sure! and while you are there check out my Ad rolling on the side bar.....woohoo !!

How to inject Bohemian Style in your look

A staple of the BOHEMIAN STYLE is a very unique jacket, something that makes you stand out from the crowd around you. One way to do this is with a Military Jacket which is one of my favorite ways to amp up an outfit. Jackets are my Kryptonite - I cannot resist buying one any chance I get, and my shop is stocked high with some pretty awesome Bohemian Jackets. Above are some great examples of unique pieces that can be found on Etsy or Ebay.

Another way is to take a regular black jacket and add Military patches in your own DIY style. Blogger MyTenida has done a very cool version herself on her blog by adding some Ebay patches to her jacket making it personalized and very unique.

Sisterhood Photo shoot from Spell & The Gypsy

By now you guys know I crush big time over the Spell & Gypsy label and what the sisters have achieved. They recently did a photo shoot of the three (out of 4) sisters and I just had to share it with you guys. The sisters are so talented, coming up with all these amazing Bohemian Clothes, expanding their biz, opening branches all over Australia and forming a tight community around what they believe. I think its amazing to have like minded souls to work with and who better than your own sisters.

My two younger sisters live in Dubai, U.A.E and I haven't seen them for 6 years now. Just seeing these photos makes me miss them even more. So to everyone out there - if you have your sisters with you - get them together and do a crazy themed photoshoot like so.............they are pics you will cherish forever.

How to mix masculine and feminine in one outfit

One of the reasons I follow Karla's blog is because of the way she combines Vintage and modern pieces. Kind of the way I dress. She has her own style which is not very Bohemian Rocker but still very classy and very her. She tends to take a masculine piece and pair it with a very feminine piece and kind of give the outfit that whole sexy touch. 

Here she combined a Goodwill Men's shirt with a wrap skirt and she makes it look oh so sexy. You know you don't have to break the bank to look good - there are so many ways to mix Hi and Low and make your outfit totally unique. 

If you want to see more of Karla's looks check out her BLOG.
